Current Situation & Support for Future Action. The introduction of a Basic Bank Account has reduced but not eliminated the problems of financial exclusion. The Réseau Financement Alternatif has estimated that since the introduction of the law in 2003 the number of persons excluded has fallen from approximately 40,000 to 10,000 in 2009. A recent development has been an amendment to the law on basic banking service which limits the amounts paid into a bank account that are subject to seizure by legal process.

According to the Financial Inclusion Observatory, the main groups of the population without access to a basic account are elderly people in villages (who usually have low incomes and prefer to hold their money in cash) and the Roma population (who traditionally keep their money in gold and invest in real estate).60 14% of the Bulgarian population live below the poverty threshold according to 2003 World Bank data.
